The German is getting ready to take charge of his first game as Reds boss, away to Tottenham on Saturday

Jurgen Klopp fits the Premier League perfectly and will make a difference at Liverpool, according to one of his former players, Robert Lewandowski.

The German is getting ready to take charge of his first game as Reds boss, away to Tottenham on Saturday, following his appointment at Anfield last week.

Plenty have come forward in support of the 48-year-old, including the likes of Franz Beckenbauer, Joachim Low and Dietmar Hamann.

And now Lewandowski, his former striker at Dortmund, believes Liverpool is the “optimal club” for Klopp, reports the Liverpool Echo .

“Kloppo fits perfectly with the Premier League,” he told Goal. “At Liverpool he can make a difference with his positive thinking and sweep the players along with him.

“They will play really well and they will win. I can only wish him the best of luck. I know the team are not playing that well, but Kloppo definitely has an idea of what he wants to do. This is the optimal club for him – and league also.”

The Poland striker, now at Bayern Munich, rose to prominence under Klopp at Dortmund, scoring over 100 goals during his time at Westfalenstadion.

The Bayern man is confident Klopp will find a new style of play to be successful in the Premier League.

“He’s a great guy, a great coach,” Lewandowski added.

“He knows that the Premier League and Bundesliga are not the same. He will do things differently and find a new approach than at BVB because it is a different league and he has new players.

“I heard that he put on a show at the press conference – this is Klopp. He has fun and is a great coach, a great guy. I can only wish him the best of luck.”
